Lin Qiu, feeling a headache, grabbed the two men's hair and said, "I'll count to 123. If anyone of you dares not let go, you'll have to sleep with the kids in the next room for the next thirty days, starting tonight." To appear intimidating, Lin Qiu added, "If you can't do this, I won't eat!"
The hostility between the two men, who were unwilling to give in to each other, finally weakened.
Lin Qiu only heard him count: "1, 2, 3" Song Mu had to let go of his hand, and Ling Yun gently placed Lin Qiu on the animal skin mattress.
Lin Qiu sat to one side with his arms folded. "If you guys keep messing around, I'll send you all to sleep over there! It'll get hotter in the future, and it'll be cooler sleeping alone."
"Xiao Qiu, I just..."
Ling Yun wanted to explain, but Song Mu beside him blinked and said, "I'm sorry, Xiaoqiu. I know I was wrong."
He apologized directly and fiercely, making it seem like Ling Yun was trying to make excuses for himself.
Ling Yun glared at Song Mu and heard him say in a sarcastic tone, "I won't learn bad things from Ling Yun anymore. I'll listen to you in everything."
Lin Qiu patted Song Mu's head and said, "Song Mu is still a good boy."
Ling Yun: “???”
It wasn't him who taught him bad things!
He's bad, why do we need him to teach us?!
"Okay, okay, Ling Yun is also good." Lin Qiu couldn't bear to see Ling Yun feel wronged, so he reached out and touched him.
"Xiao Qiu~" Ling Yun was very easy to coax. He twisted his body and leaned his head on Lin Qiu's shoulder. "I knew Xiao Qiu wouldn't listen to his nonsense."
"Okay, now you two should get back to work."
"I want to stay with you for a while, Xiaoqiu." Ling Yun looked like a little tiger.
"Go quickly."
"No." Song Mu refused decisively.
"You guys aren't weak in the knees because of what happened just now, are you? No? You don't have the strength to go out and work because of this, do you?"
Lin Qiu blinked, and the two of them immediately put on their animal skins and rushed to jump off the kang to go to work, proving that they would not become weak in the knees just because Lin Qiu touched them once.
Lin Qiu was so angry at these two people that he laughed and shouted out the window: "Watch the kid!"
"I know!" Ling Yun's voice came from outside the door. Lin Qiu also got off the kang. She wanted to find a good piece of wood to make an abacus.
She rubbed her slightly numb hands, put on her clothes and shoes, went to the next room to find wood and tools, and started grinding.
She thought of grinding out an abacus bead as a sample, and then let Song Mu and Ling Yun do the rest.
Lin Qiu took the things to the yard to do them. The sun was shining, and he could also watch Ling Yun and Song Mu busying themselves beside him.
She needs to get more sun, exercise more, and try to live longer.
Lin Qiu also wants to live a long life and grow old with Ling Yun and Song Mu.
Lin Qiu was so serious that she only noticed the two tiger cubs when they ran to her feet.
"Qiao An, Shi Wei, why are you here?"
Lin Qiu touched this and rubbed that, and saw Shi Wei yawning. His small eyes were half covered by his eyelids, and it was obvious that he was sleepy.
The tiger cubs all grew up in their sleep. Shi Wei slept the most, and his physique was just like the name Ling Yun gave him. Among all his brothers, he was conspicuously large.
"Baby Shi Wei," Lin Qiu picked up one of them with each hand. His right hand, which was holding Shi Wei, was obviously bearing more weight. "I'm going to take you to bed, but you two should wipe your paws clean first."
"Ahhh..." Qiao An resisted. He was not sleepy, he just wanted to cuddle with his mother.
Lin Qiu wiped Shi Wei and Qiao An's paws clean, and stroked their fur from their heads to the base of their tails. Shi Wei flicked his tail twice and closed his eyes to sleep.
Qiao An turned over his belly and acted cutely towards Lin Qiu, which made Lin Qiu's heart melt.
"You don't want to sleep, right? Come on, let's go outside and bask in the sun."
Shao Zheng and the others are really naughty. They are always arguing with each other, so Qiao An sometimes just doesn't want to be with them.
Lin Qiu took the small mat that Qiao An used when they were born outside, put the mat at her feet, and asked Qiao An to stay by her side.
Song Mu and Ling Yun were working together and couldn't help talking about Qing Yuan.
Ling Yun said, "That guy is incredibly shameless. Even though I've warned him not to approach our territory, I don't think he'll give up like this."
"It would be good if he doesn't come to my house again." Song Mu breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.
"Xiao Qiu likes to walk around. She went through so much hardship giving birth and finally recovered. We should take her out more often. This kid is causing all the trouble. Do we really have to stop Xiao Qiu from going out to play just to be on guard against him?"
Ling Yun's voice grew louder as he spoke, and Song Mu gave him a look: "Keep your voice down."
Ling Yun said, "Go and beat him up. I'm the clan leader after all, and it won't sound good if I fight with him."
"What? The patriarch is so pretentious now?" Song Mu said to him sarcastically.
He had originally thought so. If this kid dared to do anything out of line again and cause trouble to Lin Qiu, he would definitely beat that kid up and let him know whether he was worthy or not.
Song Mu originally didn't have that much confidence, and was afraid that Lin Qiu would also think that they were preventing other males from pairing up with her out of jealousy.
But what Lin Qiu said this morning really made him stand up straight and beat people up.
Lin Qiu didn't know what the two were discussing, and she didn't want to go out for the time being. She wanted Ling Yun and Song Mu to quickly renovate the house so that the cubs would have a room to live in when they grew up.
This would also give Qing Yuan outside some time to cool down for a few days. Maybe he would calm down and figure things out.
After all, Qing Yuan had only met her a few times, so their feelings shouldn't be that deep.
Lin Qiu thought so, but Qing Yuan didn't.
After Mei Yan went out to do business, Qing Yuan established a good relationship with Teng Ning and followed him like a little follower to learn. He had a very good personality and was cheerful all day long, as if he would never get angry.
Teng Ning was not young, and Yan Ti had not given birth to any cubs for him. Qing Yuan following him actually made Teng Ning feel some fatherly love, so he took good care of him.
Qing Yuan has been keeping a low profile these past few days, staying by Teng Ning's side and helping him build the watchtower.
While whittling away at the wood, Teng Ning looked at Qing Yuan. "Don't be too upset, boy. Lin Qiu is a slow-moving female. She was also very rude to Ling Yun and Song Mu before. They'd been together for a long time before Lin Qiu mated with them. Don't be discouraged if she rejects you now. Maybe if she finds out you're better later, she'll treat you the same way she treated them. What you need most is patience, and you have to be able to take a beating."
Teng Ning brought up Lin Qiu, and Qing Yuan's work over the past few days was truly worthwhile. "Really? They're so close now, you can't tell. Who did Lin Qiu mate with first? Who did she prefer? Who gave birth to their cub?"
